Good Luck with the move! I know Cali isn't cheap but neither is NJ!! From your experience you could come down here and try to get into a Union. You have quite a list of skills you could use to get into a trade. Glazers,Carpenters or Electricians. Complete your apprenticeship and make good $ I'm a Union Carpenter. You could try to get into the Carpenters but last i heard the waiting list is like 1500 people! The current payrate is $38.12 a hr and we are one of the lowest paid trades! Electricians are the highest paid! Thats one of the good things about this dumb state! It's Union strong

I live in Monmouth County, and I think you wont have too much trouble finding something since you have a lot to offer. I sell cars at a dealer in Keyport, and there are a lot of business on Rt 35 which runs through Red Bank. Good luck on your move!

Hey man I live in Eatontown which is 5 mins away from Red Bank. With your back ground you shouldn't have a problem getting a good paying job. Plenty of nice apts right outside of Red Bank that aren't that bad. Good luck man if you do sell the Camaro let me know if you part it out

Redbank is a nice area. Their are tons of dealerships along RT 9 & 35, then further south into the Toms River area. Also, a bit further north in Edison also has a lot of dealerships. I think you'll be able to find a job without issue.
